Yeah, Mike, I know you're right. Probably have to take the Boss' opinion into account, too. Quote:

Maybe that's the real reason Mojo got seven TV's.

I had this perfect panorama view of about fifty big screen TV’s, all playing the same thing. Out of all of them, two just stood out and demanded a closer look.
Always make sure to get the remotes and check the settings. Some manufactures purposely have the tv's defaulted to the tourch setting so that they look great in a bright department store/show room. Not to mention that the store may have certain brands they want to look better as well. It works though, catches your eye and you automatically think it's the best. Remeber all h/t stuff needs to be in your room and configured properly.
Have fun shopping!

If your boss is like most other bosses, then have fun with your Panny plasma  PDP and LCD usually have higher boss' approval rating than DLP and LCOS.

As Mike points out, your eyes will tell you the right answer (with liberal input from the boss and bounded by the confines of the finances).  BTW - I never called you stupid. I was simply inferring that you opinion might be a tad mis-directed.

A guy I know who used to work at a local big box store that I like to make fun of, told me that if a particular line wasn't selling very well, they would be instructed to crank up brightness controls on that model to make it catch peoples eyes.
It's stuff like this that makes me hate even shopping for groceries.

I’m not pushing the Samsung…. I just found it interesting that out of all those TV’s, there were two that stood out and they were the same brand and type.
I did not look at the TV’s settings, but I did ask if they were calibrated. The response I got was “no” and that they were all set to automatic after being put on display. I didn’t think anything of that seeing how my Mitsubishi rear projection TV has this feature. It doesn’t work worth a crap, but it does adjust itself to ambient light and whatever else it looks for. I leave it off.
So what’s a good washing machine anyway. I need a good story to tell to convince the boss I did at least look around some…….has to be front loader.

"Automatic" on some sets is designed to have eye-popping hue, saturation, brightness and contrast so that the set will stand out in the shop. That's why you need to buy at least seven, bring them home, calibrate them and then make a decision  .

Mike, we got the Whirlpool Duet series for Ian's mother. It comes with a DVD to explain all the feature-ettes!! She adores them, and she's not one to be swayed by inferior washing. . . FWIW

Amie, I'll recommend the Whirlpool Duet series washer and dryer package as well. We have had ours for about 2.5 years now and are very happy with them.
